I blog mostly about my favourite corner of Spain — Villajoyosa on the Costa Blanca — but also anything or anywhere else in Spain that takes my fancy. It’s a fascinating country!

I’m based in London, but spend as much time in Villajoyosa (aka La Vila Joiosa, or La Vila for short) as I can. That’s why this blog is called “View from La Vila”.

My wife is Spanish, so I’ve been spending time in Spain – especially the area around Alicante – for more years than I care to remember.

So here’s what I write about. I can’t resist Spanish food, so please check out my posts here – plus these guides to the best of Alicante wine.

You’ll also find my favourite walks to lose the calories afterwards. and my musings on everything from the Romans to rugby.

All recommendations are my own – I don’t look to make any money from this blog! And I don’t accept freebies either. I pay my own way!
